[There were two things unusual about Aya's Network Post today. The first was that her eyes glowed. A bright, iridescent green. Not so brightly that she could have been in the presence of a Blue Lantern, but certainly enough to indicate she was accessing the very core of her Energy.]

I will do my best to keep this transmission as ░▒░▒░░▒ as is within the range of my capabilities at this time.

[The second was that, even as she spoke...eyes still glowing...the distinct clicking sound of keys could be heard. Were one to pay close enough attention, the lower portions of her arms could be seen twitching. She was simultaneously coding and rerouting and altering the transmission.]

As the current head of the Wayne Enterprise Science Department, as well as ░▒░░▒ of Stark ░▒░░▒░▒░░▒ and member of the Green Lantern Corps, it is my responsibility to ░▒░░▒░▒░░▒ the resources which are currently available to me.

I have been working for approximately 32.7 hours consecutively, studying the ░▒░░▒░▒ that is effecting the consoles, and how I may circumvent these external controls. The highly complex meth--░▒░░▒░ ▒░░▒ are somewhat admirable, though I am ░▒░░▒░▒░░▒ to admit as much, given the most likely source. However, combined with the efforts of ░▒░░▒░ ▒░░▒░ ▒ ░░▒░▒░ ░▒░▒░░▒--

[A frown, and the transmission momentarily cuts out.]

[Then back in again.]

...that is better.

As I was saying, I am seeking those in Keelai with an expert knowledge in advanced programming and engineering who may aid me in my quest to fix this. Access will be granted to any and all resources I am currently within my ability to provide you.

You may contact me at this location. Be forewarned that no information exchanged will be deemed Classified.

Thank you.

{{GREEN LANTERN RING TRANSMISSION, with backdoor for BLUE LANTERN RING as well}}

I do not believe your rings have been compromised.

However, I cannot be certain at this time, as I do not possess one of my own to analyze.

[Repeating Pattern of Shifting Mutations]

Is it poss▒░e the virus is Artificially In▒░▒░ent in ▒░ture?

[He pauses, frowning a little.]

Honestly, I hadn't thought of that. I don░░ ▒░▒░ink it is or I'm not sure I would be able to track it-t-t as well as I am, but ▒░o knows. Is th░▒░ ▒░ ░░▒░ay to test it?

[~~Ask it questions?~~]

We could attem▒░ to isolate the vi▒░s and recreate a series of ▒░░▒░ ▒░vices to upload it too. Under careful ob▒░▒░▒░, there is a ▒░▒░lity we may be able to monitor any ▒░▒░▒░ent mutations it might make. Determine ▒░▒░▒░ the ▒░▒░▒░ is capable of independent growth.

I'm not willingly g░▒▒░▒░ ░░▒░ infect more systems. There's no guar░▒░▒░░ that it can't connect the ░▒░ystems into a network independently.

If that were the ▒░▒░▒░, then why has it not already done so?

Why have my ▒░▒░▒░ not already been in▒░cted as well?

Your what? Wha░▒ ░▒░id you do?

[She took a moment to reroute her transmission yet again, as the current one was getting worse.]

My systems.

I am alive, yes, but I still ▒░▒░ an Artificial Intelligence. One that is not immune to certain infection. [As she has the unfortunate experience of knowing first-hand.]

[He sighs.]

If ▒░▒u can get me three more comp░▒░░░ I'll try running it on e░▒░ ░▒░▒ ▒░esting them for unique ░▒░atterns or mutations.

[Does this count as a victory on her end? For some reason, it feels like a victory.]

It should not be a problem.

Thank▒░

Come by either ▒░fice at your earliest ▒░░▒░, and we can ▒░rk on this together.

Would that be ▒░▒░icient?

I'll ░▒░me when I can.

Then I shall be ░▒░ting.

What a░▒░ ░▒░▒ working on in the m░▒ntime?

This particular pro░▒░t has taken top priority in my ░▒░░▒, ░░▒░░▒░r I also have a backlog of ░▒░░▒░ involving studies that have been ░▒░░▒░ ░▒░ the ░▒rrier. And the potential utilization of Fore░░▒ ░▒chnologies.

[It was not logical to continue relying so heavily on local consoles only for communication, given recent circumstances.]

[Mike nods.]

Do we h░▒░ ░▒ lot of foreign techn░▒░▒▒░ ░░re?

Aside from mys▒░f, and the Lantern Rings, I do not ▒░▒░ definitively. There are ▒░░▒░ possibilities, but without ▒░▒░ ▒░amination, I can not be certain where ▒░▒░▒░ ▒riginated from.

Good luck. L░▒░▒ me know if I ░▒░n help.

You have already h▒░▒ed a great deal.

Though I would grea▒░▒ app▒░▒iate any future updates in your research ▒░▒arding the virus.

Of course. That ▒░▒▒░ ░▒oth ways.

I offer full dis▒░▒sure to any involved in this ▒░▒▒░.

You may ask for ▒░▒▒░▒ation any ▒░▒e you wish.

[There's a pause as Mike looks slightly uncomfortable.]

Sure.

...is something wrong?

I don't l▒░▒ ▒░ving to ask. I ▒░▒▒░ ░▒▒░ ▒░ unique situation, b▒░▒ I'd like to be kept apprised ▒░ ░░ossible.

[It took a moment longer for Aya to process the request. Not so much because of the distortion--her database was able to fill in most of the gaps relatively easily enough--but because she did not fully understand the difference between it and what she had offered.]

Is there a reason you cannot ▒░▒e to me yourself?

You would be given ▒░▒▒ access to t▒░ labs.
